Head On by John Scalzi Book Summary

"As much as Scalzi has the scientific creativity of a Michael Crichton, he also has the procedural chops of a Stephen J. Canell to craft a whodunit with buddy-cop charm and suspects aplenty—most of them in someone else's body." —USA Today

John Scalzi returns with Head On, the standalone follow-up to the New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed Lock In. Chilling near-future SF with the thrills of a gritty cop procedural, Head On brings Scalzi's trademark snappy dialogue and technological speculation to the future world of sports.

Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent’s head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are “threeps,” robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden’s Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real and the crowds love it.

Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.

Is it an accident or murder? FBI Agents and Haden-related crime investigators, Chris Shane and Leslie Vann, are called in to uncover the truth—and in doing so travel to the darker side of the fast-growing sport of Hilketa, where fortunes are made or lost, and where players and owners do whatever it takes to win, on and off the field.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

More please. Hopefully this is just the continuing adventures of Shane and Vann.

Head On. I love John Scalzi’s books, just like I love Robert Heinlein. I crave to read their books. The first time I read Scalzi, I felt like the first time I read Heinlein......in love and can not get enough. But this one was a disappointment. It is a formula book. I thought the traveling body for bed ridden people was a new and good idea, but the story was too predictable in every way. I still can’t wait for the Scalzi book, I’m just hoping it’s as rich with characters and situations as his first books have been.

Don’t bother. One of his worst books. From making a sex-addicted pervert who cheats on his wife one of the protagonists shows Scalzi’s huge liberal push. I don’t need re-programming, keep it in your family Scalzi.
